Arabesque




The art of dancing around a point,
a point of view,
a view point,
pointedly viewed by dancing.

Shuck and jive,
step, ball, change,
juke and dive,
shimmy and shake.

I see your seeing of what
I saw but that’s not what I
have seen at all.
Tappity-tap, tap.

Leg flip, 1st position,
arabesque, lithe,
twirl and dip,
shuffle, two hops this time.

Not that it happened when it
happened, or was I aware of
the happening, before it had the
chance to happen, all happenstance.

Limbo right, limbo left,
mashed potato,
shake a tail-feather,
pony. Ride the pony.

I do not recall,
I half-remember,
what was to be remembered
was a matter of opinion.

Shake, shake, shake,
body roll, body roll,
with roller skates now,
smooth.
